** Shared on behalf of the Family Information Service (FIS) Team **

A decision was made not to print the guide this year, it is only available as a pdf copy. This has allowed the FIS to create an interactive diary section and use colours and photographs with additional clarity, more so than previous versions allowing for easy viewing on computer screens, phones and tablets.

FIS encourage any users of the guide to provide them with your feedback.

They would be delighted to hear what you think, and all feedback allows them to improve and continue to provide a high quality publication, which they hope you will find useful in planning your summer activities.

Her printer was broken so we couldn’t get print out that day but she is sending them through the post to us at school. We can’t wait to see them.

Look how patient all the boys and girls were while waiting for their turn!

This week we learned about the bishop.

A bishop (♗,♝) is a piece in the board game of chess.

Each player begins the game with two bishops.

One starts between the king’s knight and the king, the other between the queen’s knight and the queen.

The starting squares are c1 and f1 for White’s bishops, and c8 and f8 for Black’s bishops.

One bishop is always on white squares, the other is always on black squares.

Bishops can move only diagonally in a forwards and backwards fashion and in any number of spaces.

We have used virtual reality headsets to put ourselves in their position taking penalty kicks and trying to save goals.

In our Big Writing this week, we are going to be writing about playing in an important World Cup match.

We’ve realised that different things make different people feel scared or worried. We thought about things we can say to ourselves to make us feel braver and put them into thought bubbles.
